[SWLUG] Technical Meetings - What do you want to talk about?

[lists at truthisfreedom.org.uk]

Hi Marcus,

WiFi would be awesome, I believe that Sean has a projector/screen we  
can borrow if one is not available.

Not too sure on the capacity because I don't know how many would be  
interested at the moment... Why? What have you got? ;)
